Jawaharlal Nehru was educated in the British education system. He discovered India, as he says, wearing the Western lens' in 1944-45. His "Discovery of India' is a colonial narrative of the Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT), which justifies the coming of invaders into India, beginning with Aryans and ending with the British While all those like Greeks, Shakas, Scythians, Huns were 'Hinduized, the Muslim invaders came to spread Islam by force. Nehru replaces "Hunduization by Indianization, to justify the assimilation of Muslims in Hindu society. He changed the Idea of India' from a Hindu country with rich cultural and spiritual heritage and an advanced Vedic civilization to a new culture that was dominated by Islam, which marginalized | Hinduism This narrative was cemented by Maulana Azud, by suppressing knowledge about the Vedas. This continues in sahools and univenaines, controlled by Marxists and Islamists.

AIT was rejected by Dayananda, Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, and negated by archacological excavations of the Indus Valley Civilization which found acc unbroken living Hinds religion from remote antiquity to the prosem. But Nehru accepted ALT as a historical fact, and that the linda society was priminve and barbarie with its superstitious and social evils, and the great cpics as mythology, Kamlesh was inteluued by the suppression of the knowledge of an advanced Vedic civilization, which their man professors and astronomers had found to go back to at least 3102 BC the Kaliyuga Modern astronomy agreed with the colestud positions observed by Brahman astronomers in 3102 HC Bal Gangadhar Tilak too had carried our resetirch about antiquity of seriptures using astronoray. Interestingly even Max Muller hnd revised his views abitur Aryan race theory, and the antiquity of the Rig Veda But all this was hiddeti.

Kamlesh began his discovery of India through the Bharatiya lens. He explored original sources of Indian history und interpretation of Vedas by native scholar's led by Maharishi Dayananda which showed the motivated interpretation of polyticism by Max Muller to serve the cause of missionaries. Mughal rule and the tole of Sufis have been studied along with papers from the British Archives, Sanskrit scholars like Goldstucker who critiqued Muller.

De Kamlesh Bajaj has touched only the tip of the vast knowledge contained in these sources to challenge the primitive civilization tag attached to an advanced Vedic civilization. It is a small attempt at Discovering India through the Bharatiya lens Breaking the Colonial and Marxist Myth. Clearly there is a need to look at India through the "Bharatiya lens.

As an avid reader of history, polities, Marxism, lindu epics, and Vedic scriptures, Kamlesh kept his interest alive in global political developments. Being a part of the cyberspace policies, he has seen how the global narratives are being created by the West. Ilis interest In historical books was revived, in particular in Nehru's 'Discovery of India', which is a colonial narrative based on the Aryan Invasion Theory. He set out to explore the way it was created by Nehru using the 'Western lens. It took him three years to dive into several original books available in the digitized world to understand the colonial era and to discover India, that is, Bharat, through the 'Bharatiya lens'.

History is an important instrument in controlling the narrative in any country. The majority of Asian and African countries, former colonies of the European powers, had their histories written by the European scholars who ruled over them. for two or three centuries. The native scholars who were educated by them under their colonial educational system invariably promoted the same narrative. The common thesis was that these were primitive and barbaric people with 'Rude Civilization' who saw the light of God with Christianity and modernity with Europeans! India was no exception. This framework ensured that Indians with English education could appreciate the purported superiority of British culture and, some hoped, Christianity, This segment of Hindus felt inferior since the colonial narrative emphasized Hinduism's superstitions and social evils.
